Block calls, text messages or surfing on your mobile phone

You can block calls, text messages and surfing on your mobile. Depending on the desired barring, this can be done free of charge or against payment.

Pay-for barrings to block calls and text messages

Contact our customer service to activate pay-for barrings. After activation, you can use short codes to block your calls and text messages. For this, you need a secret code. By default your secret code is 0000, but we advise you to change it as asoon as possible so that you are the only person who can block and unblock your calls.

Type **03*330* Old code * New code * New code # on your mobile phone and press the call key. Instead of Old code, enter your current secret code and instead of New code, enter a new 4-digit code of your choice. You will receive a confirmation 'Password change: Registration was successful.'

With block surfing and sending MMS abroad you do not allow yourself to surf abroad. The surfing limit abroad allows you to surf, but we intervene from a certain amount: until the end of the month you can no longer surf abroad. This is to avoid high bills.
